Contact the Elderly is a national charity tackling loneliness among older people through regular Sunday afternoon tea parties. Its Blairgowrie Berries group meets for a couple of hours, once a month, usually in a local host’s home. Guests are chauffeured there and back by volunteer drivers and can enjoy some lively company over tea and cakes in a small, friendly group.
